A fairly dense cake with a muffin-like texture. The crumb topping completely covers the plums so there's no need to arrange them artfully. The second time I made this cake I simply cut my plums in half and overlapped them closely on the batter. The cake tends to be a bit dry so the more plums, the more moist the cake. I easily used 30 plums. The baking time was right on.
